The Ice Face Roller is a great tool for soothing irritated skin, relieving muscle tension, and even remove nagging aches and pains. But did you know that it's also a great way to relieve Botox side effects instantly? Here's why the Ice Face Roller immediately gets rid of the discomfort after the injection.
“Botox” is short for “Botulinum Toxin.” It's a toxin that's currently used to treat certain cosmetic problems, such as excessive underarm sweating and frown lines. It's also an anesthetic, which explains the lack of sensation around the area of the injection for hours after the procedure.
Botox is approved by the FDA to temporarily make frown lines disappear, particularly on the forehead area. Since all it involves is an injection, it's a popular alternative to plastic surgery for those who'd like to look just a little younger for that big event.
The main problem with Botox is the long list of uncomfortable side effects that may set in right after the injection. The most common side effects include the following:
The worse side effects include fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms. Some unfortunate users also feel serious muscle pain or weakness, particularly in muscle groups outside the immediate injection area, as well as increased skin sensitivity.
The best treatment for Botox side effects happens to be cold therapy. Cold helps relieve the pain, redness, and swelling of the area, which is caused by broken capillaries seeping blood into the area.
Cold helps the swelling go down by constricting the broken blood vessels, making them spill less and less blood into the area.
Cold therapy also helps soothe the pain caused by the Botox injection. The skin simply feels better when cold is applied to it, particularly when it's been inflamed and irritated.
Cold compresses are typically used to relieve Botox side effects. The only problem is that ice packs tend to worsen the irritation further if they're placed directly onto the skin, and need to be wrapped in a towel. Ice packs also melt after 20 or so minutes, which means you'll have to put the back to the freezer and wait for them to get cold enough again.
That's where the Ice Face Roller comes in.
Instead of using a cold compress, you can use the Ice Face Roller. This small handheld roller uses an ice-cold barrel that rolls smoothly over the skin without irritating it. That way you can treat Botox side effects safely and instantly, without towels or long waiting periods.
Aside from providing instant relief for Botox side effects, the Ice Face Roller is also great for soothing other skin- and muscle-related aches, such as:
And best of all, since the Ice Face Roller is portable, you can enjoy the relief anywhere you go.
